I was asked by #sewmystyle creator Alex to do the top tips for this month’s challenge – the Bridgetown dress from Sew House Seven! (This post will also be on the Bluebird Fabrics blog here). The Fit The Bridgetown comes in sizes 0-20. You can make it ether a dress or a tunic with an optional […]

This month’s #sewmystyle has been a bit slow going for a lot of people. Me included! The project for March is the Virginia legging from Megan Nielsen. It’s a really basic pattern to make leggings either with a low waistband (suitable for maternity) or a natural waist. I finally got going on it thought after […]

Follow my blog with Bloglovin For my March Minerva Craft project I chose to do something completely different to what I normally make – ties! I made 2 different types of ties – a regular one and a bow tie – from a lovely monochrome dogtooth cotton sateen. Check out the post here to see […]

Obviously what every girl is missing from their wardrobe is a paisley jumpsuit… 😂 Probably not the case for most people but it kinda worked for me! I finally got round to using my Dominique jumpsuit pattern from République du Chiffon. I must’ve bought it well over 6 months ago! I loved the design but […]

I caved. I had absolutely no intention of making this dress. Then I had all the #monetaparty tags flooding my Instagram and I couldn’t resist it any longer! I got the PDF pattern on a late night whim. You really shouldn’t mix late nights with Instagram and your credit card by the way. It definitely […]

I’ve made wrap dresses before. I’ve always self drafted them and I’ve always been really disappointed with them.

How is everyone getting on with month 2 of Project #sewmystyle? I know there were quite a few people who weren’t keen on this pattern so I’ve finished my Saunio cardigan early to see what all the fuss was about. I have to say I’m in love with my one! So I read a few […]

I know most of us sewists don’t necessarily get into sewing to keep up with fashion trends. It tend to be more of a “I want regular clothes that suit my tastes and fit really well” rather than trying to be at the cutting edge of fashion and trends. For me it’s a little bit […]

The first version I made of this dress was in a lush olive green for the Minerva Crafts Blogger Network. I really like the shape of the dress. It was cute and flattering and really reminded of this image I came across a while back – (I always end up taking screenshots of random outfits […]

This is the latest offering from Tilly and the Buttons – the Zadie dress! (This was sent to me for free to try out in advance by the way. Thanks Tilly! ☺️) The Zadie is an empire waisted dress designed for knits with multiple options for sleeves. It has a separate side panel feature that allows […]
